Quote of the day

Editor's Note: The following story was published online by Russia Today, a Kremlin-funded information organization that has been criticized for its anti-Western and anti-Ukrainian propaganda. Libya and Ukraine are reportedly bargaining over a posh aircraft that Tripoli hopes to get in exchange for the release of 20 Ukrainians being held in Libya.

The Ukrainian president finds himself increasingly isolated amid claims that he is "cementing power by persecuting rivals and eroding democracy," according to the Financial Times. “These are signs of lack of trust and a move towards international isolation of Ukraine’s leadership,” Valeriy Chaly, deputy director of Razumkov, the Kyiv-based think tank, told the Financial Times.
